Staying at a hotel seems like it should be a pretty standardized experience, most travelers know that it’s anything but. At the same time, hotels, motels and hostels are all places that seem outside of space and time, where there are just other rules and norms. So it can be nice and entertaining to see that others have had similar thoughts in the past.

If you are currently at a hotel, this might ruin the experience a bit, but once you imagine the sheer volume of people who have most likely stayed in the room you are in, it can get a little bit nauseating. After all, even if the staff have the best intentions, can you really trust that they reliably clean it out every single day?
This is perhaps why so many travel bloggers actually spend a good amount of time recommending specific hotels and giving their best tips. These are huge machines behind the scenes, with so many people coming and going.

However, just like that other staple of travel, the airport, hotels have their own, very specific vibe. Many social norms are out the window, the dress code barely exists and eating options can range from the preferences of an eight-year-old in the candy aisle to some pretty disappointing “real” meals.

Despite this fact, the main experience most of us have is a feeling of vague disappointment and a few visuals and smells that we would prefer to never learn more about. And that is ok, in many cases, going to a hotel is something we do because we need to sleep between activities while on vacation. It might not seem like much at first glance, but a meal and a warm room to sleep in goes a long way.
